Eviction POSSIBILITY can = increased mortality!

 From the folks at The Eviction Lab:

1. The high cost of housing increases the risk of dying earlier for renters. Someone paying half or more of their income toward rent was 9% more likely to die over the next twenty years compared with someone paying a third of their income toward rent. Meanwhile, someone paying 70% of their income toward rent was 12% more likely to die. 
2. Eviction can be a fatal blow. We found simply being threatened with an eviction – even when the case does not result in an eviction judgment – was associated with a 19% increase in mortality. Receiving an eviction judgment – when the judge rules in favor of the landlord – was associated with a 40% increase in the risk of death.
